Data Point – Republican Kelly Ayotte, this Amnesty chart is for you

My US Senator, Kelly Ayotte, campaigned hard against granting Amnesty to illegal aliens – a stance that sits very well with the base here in NH.  Now, 4 years into her term, she has gone hard Left on the issue – Amnesty is GREAT for Republicans!  If the debacle of Eric Cantor primary loss, in part, doesn’t get your attention, Kelly, maybe this will.  And then there is a quote from one of Obama’s illegal alien children Crusaders:

FINAL-PDF-June-2014-issue-Keeping-Texas-Red-hispanic-voters

Hmmm, I’m not seeing much in the way of Hispanics (that make up the majority of illegal aliens) of being a “natural Republican constituency”, eh?

And that quote:

“I’ve heard people come in and say, ‘You’re going to let me go, just like you let my mother go, just like you let my sister go. You’re going to let me go as well, and the government’s going to take care of us,’” Cabrera told the outlet. “Until we start mandatory detentions, mandatory removals, I don’t think anything is going to change. As a matter of fact, I think it’s going to get worse.”

Now, unless the Republican Platform has magically changed, last I knew it was all about self-responsibility and a more limited government.  While it is from a kid, this had to have made Democrats smile from ear to ear: “yup, that’s one of ours”!  How can any Republican look at that tendency, the outright call for Government to take care of them and think “that’s a budding Republican right there!”.

No, this is all the stupid notion that Amnesty will help Republicans.  Do that, and you will see a lot of undeclared magically appearing who would also be thinking “why do Republicans care more for people that shouldn’t be here, and that are about to take my job and put my family at risk, than me?”

And I think THAT is one of the primary (if not THE) motivating over Cantor’s loss / Brat’s win – Republicans in the grassroots think that their elected representatives and THEIR Leadership have forgotten what is important to them.  They aren’t, as Progressives / Democrats would have you believe, against immigration.   They ARE for our current immigration laws to be enforced (you know, that little thing called The Rule of Law).  I for one, am tired of Republicans in the House not using the Power of the Purse that they and they alone have as a Constitutional mandate to restrict a tyrannical President – but they lack the cojones to actually use it.

And with folks in the US Senate like Kelly Ayotte not demanding that they do so (all worried about being called an extremist just for wanting to follow established law), you wonder why there’s another rebellion starting?
